Actifio, the pioneer
of
multi-cloud copy data management software, announced an OEM agreement with Dell Technologies enabling the companies to
offer two new solutions to help customers speed up their digital transformation
by accelerating the release of new applications and improving the speed and
efficiency of moving workloads to the cloud.
The new solutions, aimed at database cloning, cloud
connectivity and DevOps initiatives:
- Actifio
Database Cloning Appliance (DCA) powered by Dell Technologies is a highly
scalable copy data management platform, based on Actifio's patented
Virtual Data Pipeline technology and Dell Technologies software-defined
and HCI platforms (Dell EMC PowerFlex & Dell EMC VxRail), that
virtualize application data to improve the resiliency, agility and cloud
mobility of organizations' database environments. DCA allows database
administrators (DBAs), testers or developers to make virtual full copies
of their databases in minutes using a self-service model, on-premises or
in any cloud. This efficient cloning process can serve numerous use cases
including test & dev, UAT (user acceptance training), security patch
testing, performance testing, and analytics.
- Actifio
Cloud Connect radically improves the efficiency of moving workloads to the
cloud, with Actifio's patented OnVault incremental-forever, data-capture
technology to minimize data transmission while delivering instant data
access from any point in time without waiting for lengthy copy operations.
Actifio Cloud Connect allows enterprises to take advantage of the benefits
of object storage as a landing point for data traditionally stored on
block storage arrays, without sacrificing accessibility.
Ash Ashutosh, Co-Founder and CEO of Actifio, said, "Actifio is very
pleased to provide the enabling software for these two new joint solutions.
Dell customers around the world can now experience the fast access to the
massive amounts of data they have stored and rely on for new application
development and testing, cloud migration, and AI/machine learning and analytics
initiatives. With support for all major databases and public clouds, these
solutions will help our mutual customers address some of their highest
priorities, with on-demand access to virtual copies of large databases and
hybrid cloud environments as well as enabling more efficient use of cloud
object storage without sacrificing accessibility."
